Save on college dorm room essentials at Amazon

Amazon's back to sale continues to roll out solid deals on dorm room essentials. Right now, students across the U.S. are either packing for college or getting settled in. Whether you're ticking the final items off your back to school list or just getting started, it's not too late or too early to save.

Currently, Amazon is slashing prices on its branded furniture including its best-selling office chair. For a limited time, you can get an Amazon Basics Office Chair starting from just $67. It may not be the lowest price we've seen for this chair, however, that's up to 44% off and a nice discount.

This mid-back padded desk chair is perfect for your dorm room's study area. It features a bonded leather design with a padded seat, backrest, and armrests for comfort. Height-adjustable with 360-degree swivel for multitasking, this chair is easy to assemble and has a 5 point base with smooth-rolling caster wheels.

Simply put, the Amazon Basics Office Chair is a budget-friendly alternative to spending upwards of $200 or more for a desk chair.
